Problem: Process.GetProcessesByName : Couldn't get process information from remote machine

[Dirc]

As part of an ASP.NET application, I am creating an Excel spreadsheet using
my .NET component.
On my machine (win2K) I always get a System.InvalidOperationException with
the message: "Couldn't get process information from remote machine" ... even
though the machine we are querying is not remote.

All the assemblies are signed with a strong name key.

I have tried setting all sorts of permissions, but none seem to work. Does
anyone know what I need to do to be able to enumerate running proccess from
my ASP.NET account?

Details:
ASP.NET is running in the standard Full Trust configuration.
CAS policy is normal AllCode => FullTrust.
ASP.NET user account is standard ASPNET account, with the password
autogenerated.
DCOM config is set up to allow full access and launch permissions to the
ASP.NET account for the Excel application.

Well.. If I put the ASPNET user into the local Administrators group it
works... which is kind of what I would expect...

I obviously don't want the ASPNET account to have full admin rights in the
production environment, so does anyone know what the specific permission
that I need to set?
